In this episode I chat with a September 2024 bride, Emily, who tied the knot at The Ashley Inn in Lancaster, Kentucky, just 30 minutes outside of Lexington.
From an initial budget that grew over time to unexpected wedding planning challenges, she shares her journey navigating the wedding planning. Was she okay with the increased budget? How did she make the tough decisions when it came to booking the perfect venue? Plus, we dive into how involved her groom was in the planning process. Tune in for an honest, behind-the-scenes look at planning a dream fall wedding in Kentucky.
